Özet

Background: Because of the emergence and spread of extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing strains which are resistant to many antibiotics, reliable detection of ESBL is very important for infection control. Several chromogenic media have been proposed for the detection of ESBL producers in addition to the conventional phenotypic and genotyping methods. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the performance of Brilliance ESBL agar (Oxoid; Thermo Fisher Scientific, UK), a selective chromogenic agar for the detection of ESBL-producing Estherichia coli (E. coli) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) strains.
